Unless you blue print the other 2, neither would be my first choise. Remember you get what you pay for. Richmond is about $800.00 more but is better engineered trans to start. Rick L.

dunno... I had a Richmond 6 speed (same 1-5 gearsets as the 5 speed) in a 496 power 69 stingray I owned. I completely stripped all the teeth off second gear & idler on a hard 1 to 2 shift. The POS weak Dana 36 even held up where the Richmond failed. Richmond's "Super Street" 5 speed is also rated at 600 lb ft.
